Overview

Qualitative review identifies eight critical civil engineering priorities for arid coastal urban centers, highlighting strategic pathways for resilient infrastructure development.

Key Points

Identify urgent civil engineering research priorities and develop an actionable infrastructure framework for arid coastal environments under extreme climatic and water constraints.
Conducted a comprehensive literature review and situational analysis of existing infrastructure, climatic challenges, and environmental vulnerabilities.
Synthesized interdisciplinary civil engineering expert insights addressing urban growth, post-conflict administrative expansion, and environmental exposure.
Documented critical water availability of approximately 90 m³/capita/year, which falls substantially below the recognized threshold for absolute water scarcity.
Established an eight-theme research roadmap addressing building materials, geotechnical challenges, structural vulnerability, marine infrastructure, road networks, water resources, waste management, and coastal pollution.
